The Active Schools Initiative (ASI) is a young and dynamic nonprofit organisation that provides life-skills programmes at primary schools in disadvantaged communities of South Africa, especially Cape Town and Johannesburg.

ASI promotes play as a form of experiential learning and physical activities as important aspects of cognitive and social learning at primary school level. ASI´s "PLAY & LEARN" concept is based on an international educational approach. It aims to reduce bullying and violence on the school grounds and strengthens the personal resources of children by providing opportunities for social learning and personal development. ASI wants to empower children to cope with their difficult living conditions and to become change agents and positive role models in their schools, neighbourhoods and communities.

ASI seeks to appoint two trainees as School Facilitators at its partner school in Soweto – Diepkloof, Johannesburg and at its partner schools in Langa, Cape Town.

S/he reports back to the Regional Coordinator and the Coordinator for training and education.

This will be a part-time position (maximum 24 hours per week) during normal school hours since ASI´s ´Play & Learn´ Programme will be facilitated during the schools´life-orientation periods.

The selected candidate has to undergo first ASI´s training process for up to three months depending on previous facilitator experience.
